<P> The bulk of the text was written directly in Emacs on a GNU/Linux
 system in a mixture of PHP and HTML. A number of PHP functions were
 used to automate the handling of formatting example code and figures.</P>
<P> To generate the images automatically in the img directory a custom
 awk-script is used to extract all the used image script from the
 manual. The script then uses the client version of PHP generate the
 images from the scripts and stores them in the 'img' directory.</P>
<P> The final set of HTML files was then processes by HTMLDOC to
 construct table of contents and chapter links.</P>
